Phong also highlighted the friendship and cooperation that international organisations and foreign NGOs have given to the VUFO.
He hoped that the VUFO and the COMINGO will receive more support and collaboration from partners, particularly foreign NGOs
Addressing the event, Marko Lovrekovic, Co-Director of the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre said that the foreign organisations always welcome new initiatives to improve VUFO’s NGO-related work such as the establishment of the Vietnam Institute for International and Public Diplomacy Studies in July 2016.
Representing foreign NGOs, Lovrekovic pledged they will work more closely with the People’s Aid Coordinating Committee of the COMINGO and the VUFO to address challenges, adapt to global changes and strive for a Vietnam with sustainable development.
He also affirmed that foreign NGOs will continue to work with the VUFO to support disadvantaged localities and share the country’s successes in various fields.
